Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to me! In some ways I am sorry that my kids are all grown up. Then in some ways I am counting my lucky stars. They both turned out great. I'm hoping I was a decent mom. I spent my gift card from DS#1 and I got roses from DS#2.

I started something entirely different yesterday. I was looking for a kitted up Just Nan project and happened to run across the Barbara Jackson kit from the Shining Needle class of three eggs.

So I thought I would start it. It is done in mostly mosaic stitch. But I was short tempered yesterday and said (like Stitcherista) a whole lotta nope on that one. So after I stitched the top flower, I just decided to cross stitch the rest, mostly.
Here is where I got to:

Hey, it is almost finished. It sure feels good to get close to finishing something. Well, of course, there are two more to do.

I started the backstitch around the next part of the Virgin Queen's Stitching Wallet. It was a little irritating when it didn't match up. But I found my error and fixed it so I'm ready to start the pretty stitching.

I went to the closer but smaller Farmer's Market today. I got some very good salmon pate. Yum. It is an absolutely gorgeous day today. Walking was a treat. Can't wait to talk to Claire and Evan.
